RE: Bernie Sanders - Voting Rights & Democracy Town Hall
Thats a slippery slope, what 10 people would control the world? Not even 10 people control the world today. Where are you getting this stupidity from? Also, I'd rather have control over my life especially when the vast majority of those billions are far less educated than me. I don't want imbeciles running my life.
Are you really this ignorant about oligarchs and their resources?
I'm aware of oligarchs, yet the oligarchs today are primarily here because of government manipulation of the economy, and their flirtation or outright support for authoritarian regimes (take Tencent and Huawei for example). Most made their fortune and used government industry regulators to either kill alternatives or make breaking into particular industries a larger uphill battle.
With that being said, there are many billionaires in the world.
The State is a manifestation of capital in order to create a society in which they flourish and brainwash people (like you) into accepting their rule.
The state is a manifestation of a collective who uses capital to fund their projects from wealth redistribution to all-out war. Your love for the collective is the very reason why we have governments in the first place.
What on planet earth does that mean? Why would any american want to go to war with people in the middle east? Right, they don't. Thats why the wars are so unpopular. It's the oil execs that do.
The rich oil execs.
Go off, king, tell me more about this conspiracy fantasy land.
There are different motives for different people from religious extremism to financial benefits. Also, some Americans do support these conflicts in either a limited presence or air support, this also doesn't include your love for global democracy, what of the opinions of some of the locals who want US troops there because they are fighting against left-wing tyrants and religious extremists? etc. etc.
Entertain me.
Have you ever had anyone in your family go to war and never come home?
It's been 18 years, bro. We don't want your stupid wars. Also reminder there are no "left wing tyrants", let alone "left wing" governments where we have troops involved with.
Father was a former Marine in Peru and my mother was a National Guardsman. Both alive.
18 Years of what? What stupid wars am I advocating for? Maduro and the leader of Cuba along with China are all left-wing tyrants or have a tyrannical government.
